DARRIUS WHITE

This dude is a player. White is eerily similar to last year's Rueben Randle out wide, only we feel White has more of an explosive second gear and is a little taller. He is a physically-imposing target that can really run. He has all the physical tools you would like to see in today's game: size, leaping ability, vertical speed and the ability to run after the catch. White is a smooth receiver prospect who explodes off the ball and eats cushion in a hurry. Excellent combination of size and athleticism. Plays quicker than his measurables would lead you to believe. Is sudden and explosive in his movements, especially for a big player. He is a very natural pass-catcher thanks to his big, strong hands. He attacks the football and makes plays in a crowd. Will make the one-handed grabs, lay out and win most contested matchups in the red zone. His size and speed combination makes him a threat down the sideline as well as after a catch. Shows very good body control and concentration on the over-the-shoulder ball. Adjusts well to poorly-thrown balls and has a wide catching radius. He gets up field immediately after that catch and if he catches a seam, he will win a lot of footraces. White is has all the tools, but must become a steady, crisp route runner. He is so gifted that it is easy for him to just let his athleticism take over and run by or around people. Once he becomes schooled in this area, he is a guy that could be very difficult to handle for most defensive backs, even premier ones. Overall, White is one of the biggest playmakers this class has to offer. Outstanding prospect.
